"The government blamed that attack on militants from Xinjiang, home to a
large Muslim Uighur minority."

"Beijing has not explicitly accused Uighurs of carrying out the Kunming
attack, but by calling the perpetrators Xinjiang extremists the implication
is clear."

"Many Uighurs say they are infuriated by Chinese curbs on their culture and
religion, although the government says they are given wide freedoms."

FYI: Uighur is pronounced "Wee-ger'.
